2017 Map of Lake Madison

About this map

Lake Madison dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its complex shoreline defined by prominent features like Johnson Point, Bess Point, and Walkers Point. The town of Madison occupies the northwest corner, while the small settlement of Franklin and the adjacent Franklin Cemetery lie to the south. This region is situated on the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau characterized by numerous wetlands and small water bodies such as Fods Slough and Long Lake. The local drainage network, including North Buffalo Creek, Franklin Creek, and Wolf Drain, illustrates how water moves across this glaciated terrain. Along the lake's southern shores, developments like Peninsula Park and clusters of homes along Evergreen Acres Drive reflect the area's transition from purely agricultural land to a recreational and residential hub for Lake County residents.
